Jim Plush's Blog: MyBic Goes Charitable - Work an hour for the kids

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 07:05:26 -0500

After having his MyBic PHP/Ajax framework, Jim Plush has decided to use some of this popularity to drive some charitable work for some underprivileged kids at a school that it wife works with. He specifically mentions some with more technology-related needs, such as a specialized left-handed keyboard.

So, how can I help, you ask yourself sitting there behind your keyboard? Well, it's simple, really - Jim has set up a CafePress shop with some great t-shirts for purchase - and 100% of the funds made from the shirts will go right back to the kids at the school.

Slogans on the shirts include:

"You're so Web 1.0"

"You should be tested for latency"

"I used XMLHttpRequest() when it was underground"

"I was going to put a bunch of cool tech words on this shirt, but you wouldn't know them anyway"

When donations are made, the results of them will be shared with contributors via pictures of how they're actually helping.
